Project Description
Situated within the picturesque landscape of the One Nanyuan hotel, the Wind Eaves Pavilion is a versatile structure designed to enhance the experience of guests at the adjacent wellness retreat. The 180 square meters wooden structure seamlessly connects with the natural landscape, encouraging guests to embrace an interconnected lifestyle that harmonizes with both people and nature. The pavilion serves as a beacon, inspiring a cultural shift towards a nature-focused way of living.
Design Intention
The pavilion was crafted to serve as a versatile venue for performances and various activities. It comprises of 737 Hinoki (cypress wood) timber logs, arranged to form an organic arch-like structure. To ensure protection from rain while maintaining an open-air feel, the framework is enveloped with a transparent ETFE membrane. The deliberate reduction of metallic components fosters a better connection between users and the natural environment, enhancing the overall experience of the space.
